I’d be disappointed if we lost 3 big players, say Oba, Piroe and Downes for example. If we only sell 1 (Piroe would be the most obvious choice because of the money he would bring), and we’re able to strengthen the squad in all the areas needed, then I think it’s a good bit of business. I’d be willing to let Patterson go if we were able to find a suitable but cheaper option.
I think we’ve better than Paterson already. I know many really love him, I don’t particularly. I think he takes the wrong option fairly frequently. Flatters to deceive a bit for me.
The issue with the big clear out is how that fits in with the whole ‘Martin will build for the future’ line. He won’t if we just sell out three or four best players every year. We need to sell Piroe. I’d sell either Downes or Grimes. And I’d let a few others go as well to be honest (Christie, Ntcham, that bloke from Shrewsbury if he’s not good enough for any games this year).
